***RABIES CLINIC***Rabies Clinic will be held on Saturday, June 6th from 10:00 am until noon behind the Stonington Police Station. $15.00 CASH ONLY!. You wil receive a 3 year shot if you have a current rabies certificate with you. Otherwise you will only receive a 1 year shot. Cats must be in carriers and dogs must be on leashes. You do not need to be a Stonington resident to attend. CT State Law requires all cats and dogs over 3 months of age be vaccinated against rabies. This means indoor cats also.
Who We Are
We are a division of the Stonington Police Department. A municipal organization dedicated to enforcing the Animal Control Laws of the Town of Stonington and the State of Connecticut. We do not accept unwanted animals or stray and feral cats. We are not a no-kill shelter. Time is limited for unclaimed animals. Please help us find these animals a home before their time is up!
Adopting a friend
The adoption fee for CT residents that adopt a pet will be $50.00 under the State Animal Population Program. This will include a certificate for spay/neuter and for two shots. If a veterinarian finds that the animal has already been spayed or neutered, adoptees may apply to the State of CT, Dept. of Agriculture, for a $45.00 reimbursement. We accept adoptees outside of CT but they do not qualify for the State Animal Population Program. Adoptees outside of CT pay a $5.00 adoption fee.
CT State Animal Response Team
We are currently looking for people who are willing to volunteer their time in the event of an animal related emergency. Willing volunteers will become a member of CT SART and may be deployed in the event of a disaster. CT SART members will be required to sign a code of conduct that dictates a standard of behavior. Members will also be required to attend CERT Training free of charge (Community Emergency Response Team). The CERT Training takes about 20 hours to complete. Contact us for the next scheduled class. Finally, members will be required to take 6 free on-line training courses through FEMA. IS100, IS200, IS700, IS800, IS10-Animals in Disaster Module A, and IS-11 Animals in Disaster Module B. These courses are available free of charge at www.training.fema.gov FEMA independent study courses. Each FEMA course takes an average of 4 or 5 hours to complete. Although you may envision yourself saving a near-drowned dog from the roof of a house in the aftermath of a hurricane, the reality is that most CT SART members will not be actively rescuing animals. Most likely you will be taking photos of animals, running intake of found animals, providing care for sheltered animals, and completing paperwork. We want you to realize this to prevent future disappointment. We are in greatest need of people who do have specialized animal experience such as veterinary technicians for example. Contact ACO Rae-Jean Davis at the phone # or e-mail at the end of this web page if you are interested in learning more about becoming part of the team. Please note that becoming part of the team does not require you to respond to all emergencies.
